Catching Up ((Bartimas))

Post by Ursula Wolfe »

--The following transcript was a live chat roleplay--
Bartimas: Lord, what had it been? Months? It was quite a while since last he heard from his sire, and the text, read aloud by the slender phone he still carried was enough to jolt him out of his daily routine. Day after day had marched on by, with his two businesses taking off soaring in the meantime. One a small music theory and lessons business, with himself and several employees teaching at various customer's homes, while the other involved his singing or playing as entertainment. Weddings, all sorts of other moments, or sometimes even public venues, although normally to open. He was... Looking well. Fit, trimmed, and wearing the familiar bright mirrored sunglasses, hair combed back neatly from his face. Resting on one leg was the long familiar cane, although he was wearing a surprisingly well tailored set of slacks and a collared white shirt, setting a more than presentable sight as he waits quietly on the bench outside the coffee shop she had suggested. People where a soothing thing to him these days, something to enjoy being around, even if he lived a bit apart... -d-
Ursula Wolfe:: Ursa zoomed through the city, purposely weaving her motorcycle in and out of traffic for that little thrill that she got from pissing off people when she cut them off. So it didn't take her long to get to the coffee shop that she had mentioned she would meet him at. Granted, she couldn't drink coffee, but she knew that Bart liked being around people. His playing always drew them like mothes to a flame. She pulled up against the curb and sat up, pulling the helmet from her head and set it on the back of her seat before she eased off the now quiet beast and headed for her progeny. "Bart!" She called out, happy to see him, and happy to see how well he was doing.
Bartimas: Bart rises from his seated position almost as soon as he hears the oncoming motorcycle. The muffled curses his keen hearing could make out was always an immediately recognizable sound applied to a motorcycles roar. He turns when she hops up onto the curve, and enters his frame of perception, blind eyes seeking her out as he says warmly "Ursula..." as he steps up, leaning in and wrapping both arms, cane and all, around her in a firm hug. He smiles warmly soon after, lifting his gaze blindly to press a kiss to her cheek, saying softly "You disappeared off the radar there for a while Ursula.... If i did not know you, I would have been worried for your safety...' He pats her arm fondly, murmuring "I do remember who taught me how to fight..' he shakes his head slightly, turning his gaze back towards her, blind though it was. Carefully, he gestures, saying "Come in, get a cup and lets catch up?" -d-
Ursula Wolfe:: Ursa smiled and returned the hug as well as the kiss on the cheek with one on his cheek as well. However, she smirked a bit as she noticed that she left behind a small red mark from her lipstick and gently wiped it away before she replied. "Such a flatterer, I'm glad you are well though, dearie." She said and then leaned in as she hooked her arm around his "You do remember though that I can't have normal food right?" She said in a soft whisper.
Bartimas: His smile is warm as he says gently "Flatterer? Me...? Never Ursula... I will hold a certain fondness for you i think forever... Although having been my first real crush I do not think i could pretend otherwise..' He inclines his head to the woman gently before he says gently "Even if you can't drink it... Order one, and sit down with it. Enjoy the smell at least... Living is about fitting in, something I am finding carefully..." He grins ever so gently at her before he murmurs "Shall we then?" as he starts to step forwards -s-
Ursula Wolfe:: "My clever Barti..." She teased "You are right, and lets." She said as she let him lead her into the cafe. He had a point, if nothing else, she could enjoy the scent. She enjoyed the smell of food even if she couldn't eat it. And she enjoyed the smell of drinks like coffee and lattes and wine, even if the only way she could stomach the latter was if it was made of blood. "I'm sorry I had vanished, I went home for a while... meaning my human home." She said in that same soft tone that was just for him.
Bartimas: He sighs softly as she speaks, managing a warm enough smile, good natured at the teasing. He makes his order of two coffees, passing her one when they have them and leading her over to sit down in one of the corner booths. He says simply "That must be emotional for you... it.." he sighs and says "In a way, I envy you for having a home to remember, perhaps to visit such as recently... I... Can't remember where I was born, let alone where it was, where i was raised... Everything loses a frame of reference when you are blind... But perhaps having lost it, having had it before might be worse..' He pauses, then murmurs 'Im babbling, I apologize... We are here to catch up, not sink into depression.." he smiles wryly -d-
Ursula Wolfe:: She smiled as she relaxed into her seat, toying with the coffee he had handed her before she let off a soft laugh. "I won't lie, I did the old lurking thing, watched my mother, my father... my brother... he looked so good and yet..." She sighed softly "I can tell he misses me. I saw my mother and aunt doing a spell or two... but the main reason i went back was because I wanted to pick up Ray and Jetsom..."
Bartimas: He tilts his head slightly, listening as she speaks. He mimes taking a sip of his beverage now and then, although her more keen senses would show he is merely concealing his breathing in of the pleasant smell of the coffee. He settles back into his seat carefully, looking thoughtful as he says "I assume... Some sort of keepsakes? Pets? Or stuffed animals?" in a simple question -d-

--The following transcript was a live chat roleplay--
Ursula Wolfe:: She smirked a bit "Pets... my siamese cat and husky dog. Granted, them going missing is probably going to throw up a flag or two, but both are known for vanishing for a few days, so they won't worry for at least a week." She said as she glanced around and then pretended to sip her drink before going on. "So how have things been with you, dearie?"
Bartimas: He smiles and says simply 'Stealing a pet? One might comment that's basically what you did with me..' as he manages a fond smile at the vampire, shaking his head softly as he mutters 'Probably gave my bed in your apartment to them too.' he sighs, turning his face back up and to her, saying 'That start up money you gave me worked out quite well... I'm running two businesses now, making plenty of money. Im thinking about trying to find some property somewhere in the near future..' He smiles fondly, saying "One is lessons, teaching music theory and such. The other is performances -d-
Ursula Wolfe:: She laughed softly "No, they have had their own beds in my apartment ever since Jordan and I bought the thing. I've just been trying to find the best time to go back for them. But I'm glad to hear that you are doing so well. Have you spoken to anyone else in the family while I was gone?"
Bartimas: He pauses a moment, thoughtfully before he says "Truthfully... Not overly much. I have been so busy with the new businesses, All i have been doing is kinda listening to the messages I am sent now and then, and just moving through the days. Lord, it's exhausting managing employees...' his smile is fond as he says "I have this neat computer that reads me off the figures, it is helping me a ton with the work -d-
Ursula Wolfe:: "Well least you are keeping busy and your businesses are doing well. Though, I think one of these days i'm going to force you into another social situation." She said with a soft but wicked laugh.
Bartimas: He laughs and mutters 'last social situation involved..' He coughs, and mutters 'People teasing me relentlessly if i recalled. I ended up sandwiched between you and Renee for a while..' He flashes a faint smile, his cheeks maintaining a slight hint of red for a moment before he murmurs "Not an altogether unpleasant sensation, I wont deny
Ursula Wolfe:: She laughed a little and shook her head "I should hope not, I could think of a lot worse things in this city to be sandwiched between... Like my sire and a fadebeast."
Bartimas: The chuckle is deep seated, and his gaze lifts up and towards her, blind though it was as he says simply "I admit, i haven't been paying much attention to what is going on around me. I just keep working, working, working..' he shakes his head, saying "Also, most of my meals come out of a bag. And by most... I mean all of them..' He smiles slowly, saying "Have been on bagged meals since... Before we spoke last actually. A long while -d-
Ursula Wolfe:: She smiled softly "While bagged is better in the long run, i will admit that the real thing is hard to beat. But i'm just glad you are doing well, keeping busy. I was a total mess when my sire vanished on me the first couple times. But Jesse helped me, I just feel bad that I vanished on you like I did." She said with a hint of remorse in her voice.
Bartimas: He sighs slightly when she continues on, his fingers drumming on his coffee cup before he says simply "Bagged means no risk. No... Pain, or effort to others. Can just buy, and keep on moving..' he smiles, saying "And not having to rely on others is a big... part of the way i am doing things now. I do not want others supporting me... i want to be doing some supporting -d-
Ursula Wolfe:: "Well, that's the way to be, I am just glad you are happy, healthy and growing." She said as she reached out and brushed her fingers over his hand
Bartimas: He gently takes her hand in his own, squeezing it gently before he says "I... Am finding i am content, more than anything. Running the businesses take a huge amount out of me, So its what I focus almost everything on. it's... Rewarding to be so busy
Ursula Wolfe:: "Well content is good too, so is busy." She said with a light laugh, returning the squeeze with one of her own. "So has there been any other news that I have missed?"
Bartimas: He shakes his head ruefully, saying "Not really. My work is basically all that's going on in my life at the moment." he shrugs slightly, managing a wry little smile once more as he says softly "Not really much to say..' Before his face lifts to her, saying softly 'it's good to see you again, and good to know your in the area...Again..' -d-
Ursula Wolfe:: She smiled softly and shifted around so that she could sit next to him, kissing him on his cheek. "I'm sorry i vanished, but I am back, if you ever want to chat or hang out with your dear sire." She said and then heard her phone chirp. "Hmmmm, seems that my man is getting off work soon, I think I should go show him some love too. Do you mind me scooting for now?"
Bartimas: He tilts his head, listening to the chirp of her phone before he gives a slight nod, smiling down at the woman before he says simply "ill try and call you to hang out again before the week is out. Will that do Ursula?" as he grins, saying "Hopefully i can fit in social visits in around my jobs..' He smiles to himself at the thought -d-
Ursula Wolfe:: She smiled and then gave his hand another gentle squeeze. "Sounds like a good idea to me, dearie. I'll see you later though." She said softly and kissed his cheek again before she stood and headed out.
